Rena was still pregnant. She placed her hand atop her belly and smiled
“What? You think Mark is too old? I thought you like him deeply all these years.”
Cecilia was just joking. She didn’t dwell on this topic anymore.
Eloise had also arrived. She wrapped a woolen shawl around Rena’s neck and said, “You guys keep talking. I’ll keep Zoey company.”
Rena nodded and replied, “Okay.” Rena’s pregnancy made her skin glow, adding to her charm.
Cecilia was momentarily stunned by Rena. Cecilia recalled the days when Edwin was still in her belly. She still remembered vividly she looked somewhat weary during her pregnancy. Comparing herself then and Rena now made her feel a bit jealous.

Rena shot a glance at Cecilia from the corner of her eye and smirked.
“Well, where’s my special present?”

“Rena, don’t say that again,” she said while pouring Rena a glass of water. “My brother will tease me about it!”
Rena just smiled. “Alright. Your wedding is approaching. Nervous? Have you prepared anything for it?”
Cecilia replied with a nod.
Seeing Cecilia’s shy look, Rena took out a gift and handed it to her.
